So when they say "All pre-orders of Battlefield 4 will get a free Premium Expansion Pack." they are either giving you the entire premium edition collection of DLC's or they are duping everyone into believing that they are getting the entire suite but are just getting "A" single DLC expansion.

Does anyone know if it is it ALL the DLC like BF3 Premium or if it is just a single expansion from the Premium Pack? If it is ALL the DLC (Game + Premium) for $60 it seems like a decent deal. BF3 cost people over $100 if they bought at the wrong time.

I have not come across anything stating what it is, but I have to assume that it is a singular pack and not a Premium subscription.

I am curious what they are going to do about Premium because I have not heard anything about it yet. Surely Premium is not valid for life; they wanna make dat money again. So will people have to renew/re-up their Premium sub? Or will they do away with the current system (like how Activision scrapped their CoD Elite program) and just sell the expansions from the marketplace? These are questions that I do not think have been answered yet by EA/DICE, but if I am wrong I would appreciate hearing anything that anyone might know.

Well to be fair, the announcement of BF4 (when they announced that the beta would be included with Medal of Honor: Warfighter) did take a lot of people by surprise.
Not too many people expected them to be releasing a new Battlefield this early. Some were expecting (or were hoping for) a BF: Bad Company 3 to come out while they took more time to work on the mainline title.

probability most of the development is on the engine and since they already have the engine...

I'm guessing this'll be something like the Limited Edition of BF3 (which was unlimited in quantity ). That one had the Karkand pack with it, so this one should have one additional map pack followed by more through Premium.

I'm also wondering how they'll transfer the Premium stats of players, it'll be epic if the current Premium members get the new maps for free but that seems too good to be true and in all honesty, the map packs in BF3 were worth he $50 cost (I paid half but wouldn't mind paying $50 for it).

It sounds like the Limited Edition upgrade that EA did with BF3. It got you the Karkland expansion for free. It also came with every preorder for BF3. Not a bad deal if you are definately going to get BF4, but if you arent really interested I dont think its worth the hassle. Also, I could see Amazon flagging your account if you do this often.

Knowing EA its probably the Back to Karkland pack ported to BF4.

I said I found a better price when I canceled and that's no lie. And I buy enough stuff from Amazon, I don't think this hurts them at all.

I suggest doing this to Gamestop. You get a physical dog tag, then you can cancel the preorder and gamestop is out of a $5 deposit.

Don't you have to pick up your game to get the physical stuff at Gamestop?
